not sure why Burnley are favourites to win at Luton tonight?

Looks like lay material to me
Report The Dragon August 12, 2024 5:51 PM BST
they were both in the prem last season - lutons home form was not to shabby against teams 10th or below with only 4 losses out of 10 games - ironically they lost 1-2 to burnley.

Burnleys away form was pretty poor with only 3 wins all season.

small lay of burnley for me -and of course burnley have a new manager
Report kingscrewed August 12, 2024 6:05 PM BST
Sportsbook going 11.0 for all prem teams to receive a red card in the league.

Tomorrow night Chesterfield are 6.0 to win at Derby, massive game for the spirites with a sell out of I believe 4000 plus although rumour could be extra tickets available. They will have a big following and I'd be very surprised if there was more than 12000 in total at the game. Less than a month ago the beat Derby 4 0 in pre season and as was evident Friday night Derby defensively are all over the place, with a new keeper believed to have had medical and ready to sign but his side in Sweden not willing to sell him yet whilst still involved in European qualifiers although they are close to signing his replacement.

Few changes for Derby tonight with youngster Dajuane Brown starting up front for the rams, hes 7.5 with paddy power and 7.0 with 365 for first goalscorer. Was on loan at Gateshead second half of last season in the conference where he was a class above. Chesterfield were in that division then so is more than capable at a similar level so could be worth a couple of quid. Saying that as I posted yesterday the aaay side are now 5.8 which looks value.

okay full weekend of fixtures ahead and its early doors so still no system selections until 5/6 games have elapsed.

However there are a ew bets i do like as follows :

MAIN BET : Doncaster to win at Newport at 4/5.

I fancy Doncaster ths year after their amazing run last year making the play offs and have backed them in the outerights ante post. They got off to good start this season with a 4-1 win v Accrington and won in mid week beating salford away 0-2.There current form in lEague 2 is 12 ewins in 14 and they can win again at the weekend. Newport on the other hand have lost 9 on the bounce in League two and have lost both games already this season.they also lost 6 out of 8 of their last league home games.

I have doubled the selection with GILLINGHAM who i reckon are good value at EVENS to win at Morecombe.

In other DIVISIONS  HUDDERSFIELD should beat Stevenage at 8/11 (Mentioned on another thread) and

in The Championship , BURNLEY 12/25, Boro 21/20 and sheff wed 12/5 are my three teams to win.



Good luck if you give any of the selections a dabble and of course I look forward to your comments.

comments on huddersfield v stevenage

I think Huddersfield will go well in this division.

Their form in the championship against lower half team was excellent with only 3 losses home and away against teams 13 and below. If they replicate that in this division they will go well. I backed then ante post at 14.00 on here which i thought was too big.

stevenage v the top 8 last season away from home was not good with 2 draws and six losses. i expect huddersfield to win this one after a good win at peterbotrough in the first game. im on at 1.7

Middlesbrough currently 2.1 on the exchange, will be surprised if they aren't odds on by kick off. Could be a very lively atmosphere Saturday with Boro chairman Steve Gibson arguably the main instigator for Derby getting points deduction 3 years ago and continually threatening to sue them,iirc Boro did get some money but not as much as they wanted.

Derby v Boro

Derby have an advantage of an extra days rest, although Boro did start with only 3 first teamers at Leeds.

Boro won 11 away league and 5 cup games last season - 16 out of the last 29 away games. They generally find it a bit easier away from home, probably because opposition teams give them a little more room to play in, further up the pitch.

I would expect them to have an approximate 50% chance of a win at Derby, who played OK at Blackburn last week but still went down 4-2.

Boro still have Lenihan, Fry, Forss, Smith, Bengura all injured - Howson picked up a knock midweek at Leeds but still has a chance of playing @ Derby probably as sub. Bengura is likely to be out for several months. Forss and Smith are out till after the international break. However Boro should be able to start with the same team as against Swansea last weekend.

I bought Boro @ 2.20, but beware there is no value below 2.00 in my opinion.

Listened to the Derby Middlesbrough game on local radio (Derby) very good performance from boro with Derby scoring on the break from a boro corner, boro defender loose pass putting Derby forward through 1 on 1 with the keeper which he finished comfortably. Pretty much the only chance Derby had all day. Middlesbrough kept pushing but Derby keeper was arguably man of the match, under the added pressure of Derby finally completing the signing of the new Swedish keeper for about 1.5 million yesterday. He was sub today but cant see that being for long. Think boro will be around the promotion places whereas I'd be happy as a rams fan to finish 16th, couple more signing perhaps could push for 12th with a bit of luck.

Donny let me down on my four fold - they took a second half lead as well.

Boro had 20 goal attempts to Derby's 3 - just one of those days - if someone offered you 6/5 on a team with those stats without knowing the result you would take it. Latte Lath had a few very good opportunities and surprisingly did not take any.

A lot of games were surprisingly low scoring particularly on both teams to score, not sure why. For example EPL only two games were BTTS across 7 games on Friday and Saturday.

looking at the weekend fixtures i dont get why CRAWLEY are 4.4 to win at Wigan.

Crawley have started the season well with 2 out of two wins beating Blackpool at home and Cambridge away.

Wigan have lost both opening games to Charlton and Reading without scoring a goal.

I know its early in the season and form lines are not fully formed yet but i thought the price was unusually large.

If you fancy the lay Wigan are evens on here.

18 League Cup ties each involving one team priced up at 2/1 or bigger… surely a profit to be made there backing singles only especially with 356 2 goal payout a useful tool…

Tempted to back the lot, for now have gone for a 2 point Yankee on Brum, Barrow, Orient and Oxford, also 5 point win singles…

Didn’t have a play the weekend, having backed 12 pokes at 2/1 or bigger only Colchester against MK Dons has obliged so after 3 weeks losses are substantial, only need one big week to get in front but as things settle down in the respective divisions that becomes harder to do, will probably stop at a 200 point loss… Grin

Fleetwood @ 3.60 (they were unlucky not to beat Gillingham last week and beat Div 1 Rotherham on Tuesday night) AFC Wimbledon played 24 hours later and there might be a bit of after the Lord Mayors Show after knocking out Premier League Ipswich.

Reading @ 2.58 see Div 1 thread.

On BetFred's BTTS Bonus shop coupon is Man United game and West Ham game both are quite short odds on Betfair exchange for BTTS, you need to find a third game to get a 5/1 treble (current offer) - there must be value in many selections.
